RokuStreaming Stick 4K - HDR & Dolby Vision Roku Streaming Device for TV with Voice Remote & Long-Range Wi-Fi - Free & Live TV

I’ve used Roku streaming for many years. Only need internet wi-fi, so save on cable cost, only pay for premium channels that you want. Very easy to set up, the voice remote is a great improvement, picture quality is excellent. I’ve encouraged many friends and family to switch to Roku and they are very happy with it. I have a Roku tv and an Insignia, it works equally well on both.

Super easy to install, up & running in just 2-3 mins! Buy it “Used - Like New” if available and save $! From the looks of the packaging & item’s condition, you’d never know it was used at all. Great product; LUV my Roku!

I bought the Roku Streaming Stick for my girlfriend, and the funny thing is, I used a different streamer for years. Mine is still good, but I’d say if you’re not really technically savvy, this is perfect for you. It does it all, in a really easy, unbelievable way. The options are endless, but easy to navigate to. Enjoy! 😊

Very easy to hook up and use. Streaming is very smooth and no buffing and a great selection of channels. If I had a problem the customer service is very helpful.

Works great!! Turned my dumb tv into a smart tv that I can actually use. My only complaint is that sometimes the Roku won’t turn on so I have to unplug it from the tv and plug back in. Really annoying if I’m already sitting down 10 feet away.

I couldn't believe how easy this was to set up. We bought three! Just plug into the USB outlet, follow 5 simple directions and bam - you have all the channels you'd pay hundreds for at your fingertips! I actually didn't think it'd be that simple, but it is. It really helped cut down on the cable bill. Hundreds of shows, movies, local channels - all for free. You need a subscription for some channels, but they're not terribly expensive if you have to have them. Occasionally, the channel might freeze if your Wi-Fi weakens or goes out, but that only happened to us once. You may consider an expander depending on the size of your home and how many devices (not just Roku) you have connected to your Wi-Fi.

We ordered 3 ROKU 4K sticks and installed them on all our TV's. We transitioned from Satellite TV to streaming and it was SMOOTH SAILING with these ROKU 4K streaming sticks. VERY EASY installation {AND WE ARE OLDER} and the installation was no problem. We just had to enter the info on all the APPS we were going to use. I would DEF do it all over again. WE DO HOWEVER, wish the remote controls had number/alphabet keys on the them to make it a little more "OLD FOLK" friendly. LOL

I've had experience with a number of devices, and this one is my favorite.My priorities:Fast streaming/minimal lagEasy to navigateAccess to shows of interestAbility to preview as i fast forward or rewindApple TV:ExpensiveCan't preview or issues with some of the apps that was frustrating. it wanted to rewind or fast foward instead of clicking to the screen section you wanted with a preview. This really killed the device for me.Easy to overshoot if you used the finger swipe option to quickly move fast-forward or rewind.User interface, for the most part is decent and fast except for how navigates while playing.Fire TVBuilt to sell products instead of show shows, laggy, and for whatever reason I hated interacting with this device. Not being able to easily access the content I wanted due to poor organization really rubbed me the wrong way.Pro - ability to bootleg shows, but not something I'm into and I only checked this out during the first weeks of covid.I want to emphasize the lag issues. This is built as cheap as possible to minimally meet requirements to function and it shows.RokuSo, now that I have the other devices out of the way, and ignore my LG streaming which is my favorite, I'll speak to this device and why it has my vote.This device is surprisingly fast. I didn't expect a device that was almost as responsive as my apple TV and LG TV. This is slightly slower but barely and no lag which is the most critical thing for me.We got this for the British Bake-off access which led to an unexpected cool thing. The discovery of the free shows, if you don't absolutely hate commercials. For the complete British Bake-off experience, we mute the commercials. So, the additional channels that Roku provides has made it continue to be useful.Roku allows a preview of channels as I fast forward through it.Roku does have an issues with some apps where I need to log out and go back in so the remote works correctly. I'm not sure if that's a bad app issue or the device but a quick back and in fixes. The apple device has never crashed or become buggy on me. The Firestick has, but it's cheap.The price is significantly cheaper than apple making the Roku a no brainer.Unlike the apple TV, which requires counter space, this plugs into the back of the TV and is hidden away.Now, an issue I had when I first turned on is that my remote was not communicating with the device. I was extremely annoyed as this was an early Christmas present for my wife, and I wanted it to function within a certain time window so a return and replace would have ruined it. The device showed the remotes power but didn't communicate. After resetting the device, the remote works fine now. If you run into an issue, try resetting the device.4k streaming? It's okay. I didn't do a side by side. It has 4k.Navigation? It's simple enough but could be made better. I thought the last version of the Fire TV was worse. The apple TV does shine in this area on most apps I played with. My biggest gripe with navigation in Roku is that marking something as favorite and then LOCATING the favorites from Roku's channels and free shows, was not intuitive. I did eventually find my favorites, but that was frustrating. Additionally, the channel/app/inventory searching involves clicking to the right instead of down.So, speed is slightly less than Apple, but barely. Navigation is slightly less easy based on the layout vs apple, and i think it's better than the Fire the last time I used that thing. The Roku has a nice access to misc. free channels. Its price is a quarter of Apple. The fire TV? I don't consider these two in the same league.So, if you're picking up a streaming device, I'd recommend the Roku over the other devices (except the LG TV native streaming app which is the best I've used). Performance and price are good. The only reason to avoid is if it doesn't have access to what you want to watch. For me, it filled in the gaps and provided baking shows that we otherwise didn't have access to.
